Set in 1987 on L.A.’s legendary Sunset Strip, Rock of Ages tells the story of aspiring rock star Drew and small-town girl Sherrie as they chase their Hollywood dreams. Their journey is set against the backdrop of the Bourbon Room, a famous rock club threatened by developers looking to modernize the Strip. As they navigate love, ambition, and the cutthroat world of rock ‘n’ roll, they encounter a host of wild and eccentric characters in their fight to save the strip and keep rock ‘n’ roll alive.
Featuring a score packed with iconic hits from the biggest names in ‘80s rock—including Bon Jovi, Journey, Whitesnake, and Poison—this jukebox musical is a headbanging, lighter-waving celebration of the era’s greatest anthems. Audiences will be rocking out to unforgettable songs such as Don’t Stop Believin’, We Built This City, Wanted Dead or Alive, and I Wanna Know What Love Is played by our live band. The show’s popularity on Broadway led to a major Hollywood film adaptation starring Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, and Julianne Hough.
Lucy Potter, Chairman of the Society and Choreographer, shared her excitement about the show: “It’s been really exciting to produce a musical that is completely different from anything we’ve done before. This production has pushed all of us out of our comfort zones, and the cast and production team have been working incredibly hard to rise to the challenge—learning new skills along the way. We can’t wait to show audiences what we’ve been working on. We are lucky to have so many talented and creative individuals in Boston and the surrounding area, and they will ensure that audiences have a fantastic night filled with entertainment and laughter from start to finish.”
